Why is mercury preferred to alcohol as a thermametric substance?
Mercury is preferred to alcohol as a thermometric substance primarily due to its wide liquid temperature range, remaining fluid at extremely low temperatures and not boiling until 356.7°C. Additionally, mercury has a high thermal conductivity, allowing for quick and accurate temperature readings. Unlike alcohol, mercury does not wet glass, preventing it from sticking to the sides of the thermometer and ensuring clear and consistent readings. Finally, mercury is less affected by changes in atmospheric pressure, which enhances measurement reliability.
What is a sentence for thermometric?
Helium gas was used as a thermometric fluid"
Differences between mercury and alcohol thermometers?
Alcohol is used to measure at low temperatures because it has a lower freezing point than Mercury. Mercury has a higher boiling point than alcohol, mercury boils at around 400 Co and alcohol boils around 80 C0.
What is the base of a thermometer called?
The base of a thermometer is called the bulb, which is typically filled with a fluid like mercury or alcohol. This is where the temperature is measured by the expansion or contraction of the fluid in response to changes in temperature.
A is a thin glass tube with a bulb on the one end that contains liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
A is a thermometer used for measuring temperature, typically with mercury or colored alcohol as the measuring fluid. The liquid expands or contracts based on temperature changes, providing a reading on the scale of the thermometer.

Do things float in alcohol?
Yes. For every fluid, there are things that float in it ... they just have to be things that are less dense than the fluid. That's how stones float in mercury, logs float in water, and hot balloons float in air.
